According to the legend, Nicolas Flamel succeeded in developing the Philosopher's Stone and creating the elixir of life. Even though this elixir did not promise him and his wife immortality, it extended their lives for several hundred years.
But as all things must come to an end, so did the lives of the Flamels as well. It is believed that just before their death they hid the Philosopher's Stone in a wooden chest. Only those who are capable of relentless perseverance, have goodness at heart and can handle the power of the stone responsibly will succeed in unlocking the chest.
Recently a small chest was discovered under the floorboards in the basement of the very same house Nicolas Flamel and his wife were believed to have lived in their last days. Find out if you are the deserving seeker who opens the chest and continures their legacy.
The combination of birch wood and high-grade anodized aluminium give the puzzle box a very unique and luxurious look. It can be solved purely by logic. No force, hitting or banging is required to move parts or open the box. Search the symbols and shapes carefully on the box to try and piece together clues that will help you solve it. The puzzle is also resettable, so you can play it over again, or hide a gift and give it to a friend.
